I took this shot with some T-max 100 and printed on some outdated paper. Scanned at 300dpi. The neg was underexposed and my processing was not the best. The camera was filthy when I got it but I cleaned it up and the 152mm Ektar is all scratched up. I got four shots and this was probably the first time that the camera had been used in over 30 years. I had so much fun that I bought a second camera just like it.

Wow~ Thank you!~ It must have been a blast knowing the history of the camera, as it took its first photo in many years!~
As I understand it, they were best used for portraits. Although I'm a bit of a bridge generation,( film and digital) there is simply a romance that oozes out of these cameras, AND.....film!~_________________Ken

Using a 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Graflex Super D is simple if you want to use roll film. Graflex made rollholders to fit Graflex back cameras. I own one for 2x2 and another for 2x3 so I can use 120 rollfilm if I want. I also have five sheet film holders. I simply buy 8x10 film and cut it down. I went to Office Depot and got myself one of those guillotine style paper cutters and set it up with a 3-position stop made out of a piece of 1x4 lumber. I can cut 4 1/4 inch, 3 1/4 inch and 2 1/4 inch in total darkness with this setup. Total cost was about $70.

Using the Super D is kind of a personal project. I took the photos at Camano Island State Park back at the end of February and I haven't had a chance to try the camera again yet because I haven't had the time.

Dave_________________I guess that I could get a digital camera but it would be obsolete in a couple of years (three tops). Or I could use my 3x4 Anniversary Speed Graphic. Heck, it's been obsolete for 50 years. That's way better than digital.

When looking for a 3x4 rollfilm back, be sure it was made for a Graflex SLR. The right kind has a groove running 5/8 inch from one side to fit the raised light trap on the camera body. The ones for the Graphics have ridges instead of a groove and will not fit.
It's well worth looking for a rollfilm back. I have an 8-exposure back for my 3x4 RB which has a 6-3/8" lens. This makes it a wonderful portrait camera -- the lens on a 6x9cm frame is roughly equivalent to an 80mm on the 35mm format.

I must say that it does me well, to learn of OTHER passionate "4 x 5-ers" out there!!!! ( Shoulde that be our new moniker: "A 4 x 5-ER""
I shall look into that, as there are many more 3 x4's avail
able~ Has anyone tried to make a 6 x 12? (panaramic?!)

thanks, everyone!~_________________Ken

TO ALL RESPONDERS TO THIS QUESTION!
THE PRICE ON THE BACK THAT THE MEMBER SUPPLIED THE ADDRESS/INFO FOR THE COMPANY THAT FABRICATES A CONVERSION IS OUT OF SIGHT!
DONT WANT TO IMPLY THAT THIS COMPANY COPIED MY DESIGN...BUT SOMETIME IN LATE 1999 I >INVENTED< AND HAVE SOLD 40/50 CONVERSION BACKS! AT FIRST I PURCHASED GRAFLOKS AND SOLD THEM FOR $145 COMPLETE PLUS POSTAGE...I MADE A HUGE PROFIT OF $25 EACH FOR THIS EFFORT.....AFTER HAVING TO QUIT THE REPAIR BUSINESS DUE TO HEALTH PROBLEMS, I HAVE BEEN SELLING THE CONVERSION PLATES WITHOUT THE GRAFLOK FOR $65 PLUS SHIPPING!
MY EXORBIDENT PROFIT FOR THIS EFFORT IS AFTER MATERIAL COSTS AN MILL WORK/DRILLING/HAND FILING IS ABOUT $5 FOR 5 1/2 HR'S OF LABOR!
MILLED TO ORDER, THE PLATE COMES WITH FELT BACKING AND (5) SCREWS TO MOUNT THE GRAFLOK. I USE THE OLD GRAFLEX BACK TO MATCH DRILL AND TO DUPLICATE THE 3X4 OR 4X5 RB RING AND FILM OPENING....AND I ADD ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS AS WELL!
NORMALLY I JUST ANSWERED REPAIR AND FABRICATION QUESTIONS, BY GIVING MY EMAIL ADDRESS...TO AVOID THE "*******" ADDS ON THIS FORUM...
BUT HAVE RESPONDED WITH THE EMAIL SO OFTEN, ON THIS QUESTION AND OTHERS, MUST BREAK THE RULE JUST ONE TIME! I HAVE MATERIAL LEFT FOR ONLY 4 MORE CONVERSIONS....BETTER HURRY!
HAVE A NICE DAY........BERT
